Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method and computer program product for authenticating a mobile application. According to one embodiment the method comprises registering, by a computer processor of a computer system, the mobile application, wherein the registration includes receiving and storing information associated with the mobile application, receiving, by the computer processor, one or more application details associated with the mobile application from a computing device, comparing, by the computer processor, the received one or more application details associated with the mobile application with the stored information associated with the mobile application, generating, by the computer processor, a notification based on the comparison to indicate authenticity of the mobile application and sending the notification to the computing device.

Authentication of mobile applications

A distributed cloud environment system comprising: a repository; a plurality of cloud managed nodes with a client program interface; a plurality of service management components with a service management component interface; a central trusted computing platform service in communication with the repository, the plurality of cloud managed nodes and the plurality of service management components, comprising: a first interface for communication with the client program interface in each of the plurality of cloud managed nodes through a first single touch point; and a second interface for communication with the service management component interface for the plurality of service management components through a second single touch point. The central trusted computing platform service manages interaction of the plurality of service management components with the plurality of cloud managed nodes, and the interaction of the plurality of cloud managed nodes with the repository.

Mobile node registration with the home network of the mobile node is delayed when the mobile node moves to a foreign network. The mobile node has a home network in which the mobile node has a home address. In response to the mobile node moving to a foreign network (such as by being turned on in the foreign network), the mobile node receives a care-of address. Where the mobile node has no ongoing communication sessions, the mobile node waits to register its care-of address with its home agent in the home network until the mobile node initiates a communication session within the foreign network, which may not ever occur. The mobile node by registering the care-of address with the home agent informs the home agent where to forward data sent to the mobile node's home address.

Delayed mobile node registration with home agent

When a mobile node suffers an abrupt shut down while operating in a foreign network and recovers in its home network, the present invention enables the mobile node to reestablish communication capability, without time delay, with the nodes that had established one or more communication sessions with the mobile node prior to the abrupt shut down. The mobile node of the present invention includes an update module that determines whether additional information needs to be sent to the nodes in communication with the mobile node prior to the mobile node suffering an abrupt shut down. Based on that determination, the update module may provide additional information to such nodes.

Reestablishing communication by a mobile node upon recovery from an abrupt shut down

When a mobile node moves to a network (foreign network) other than its home network, it must register with the home network so that the home agents are able to tunnel messages to the mobile node while it is operating in the foreign network. The present invention enables the mobile node to register with its home network substantially faster than it would take the mobile node to register under the currently available methods. The mobile node of the present invention includes a retrieval module and a registration module that allows it to register with the home network in accordance with the present invention.

Method for faster mobility handoff of a mobile node

When a mobile node suffers an abrupt shut down while operating in a foreign network and recovers in a new foreign network, the invention enables the mobile node to reestablish communication capability, without time delay, with the nodes that had established one or more communication sessions with the mobile node prior to the abrupt shut down. The mobile node of the invention includes an update module that determines whether additional information needs to be sent to the nodes in communication with the mobile node prior to the mobile node suffering an abrupt shut down. Based on that determination, the update module may provide additional information to such nodes.

The invention comprises a system for providing host-to-host connectivity through use of SAN. In the preferred embodiment, the end-to-end host connectivity is accomplished through the FICON protocol, over the Fiber Channel layered stack on a standard Fiber Channel adapter that runs transparently across the SAN infrastructure.
